[ale] OT: Windows Programming

[Raj Wurttemberg]

Hi Chris,

 

With Visual Studio, you have a wide choice of programming languages.  I would probably first decide if you want to program in Visual Basic, C#, or C++.  

 

There are many books out there but I think that you will have to look through their table of contents to find the right one for you.  

 

To get you going in the right direction on Windows services, Google is a great help:

I'm working on some code to run as a service in Windows.  I'll do this in VS 2013.

 

What I need to know is how to do things in Windows.

 

When I started programming in Linux I began with "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" - Stevens.

What author is the guru for Win32/64 and what is the equivalent book?

 

I think I have all books in the standard library for UNIX programmers.

 

Chris
